So what's the Secret Service procedure on having someone they're protecting be booked in a State Court system?
- I doubt it ever happened before, so whatever the policy will be, it's going to be brand new
  
  They would go with him. Statute is clear, it's for life.
  
  Is it clear how close they have to be to an ex-President at all times? Is the law written that they need to be in visual contact at all times? I have no idea.
  
  I hadn't thought of it that way. He's definitely entitled to protection while in prison. I don't see any statute or regulation that sets a distance. They have to protect dude though.
  
  I don't think he will be "in prison" in any sense during the booking, so it doesn't sound too important about how close they are.
  
  It's called 'protective custody.' Child molesters, known stool pigeons, and ex-cops are kept in a separate area. Cells are locked 23 hours a day with one hour of exercise alone in a segregated yard.
  
  Seg pop, the shu.
  
  Simple fix - just house him with any SS agents that end up getting charged with corruption in the fallout.
  
  There's no statute and the secret service doesn't comment on protection procedures. It'd be kind of silly if you could plan an assassination by just reading a law.
  
  Sure but some procedures are well known.
  
  Does that give them authority over the jails on procedures?
  
  I imagine it's a case of the Secret Service coordinating with the State on how to handle Trump. No matter what he did, he's a former president, and is entitled to the protection of the Secret Service.
  Bet he'll get Epstein'd, though.

  There's just no way in hell.
  
  It would sure be spicey though.
- They enter a cognitively dissonant state until their heads explode.
- Oh man I feel bad for the sucker whose job it is to watch over trump in prison.
- Not law enforcement. I'd assume that they'd come to some arraignment with the Correction Officers before hand.
  
  come to some arraignment
  Not sure if that was intentional but it works well either way haha
